Healing: God’s Redemptive Work
(Acts 3:1-26)
Rev. Dave Chang
I. Source: Healing is always done through God’s power (vv. 6, 12, 16)
Evidence of a broken world
In the name of Jesus Christ
Not through our power or godliness
II. Result: Healing leads to a transformed life (vv. 7-10)
A life of praise
Leaves those around us amazed and astonished
III. Purpose: Healing is centered around the proclamation of the gospel (vv. 17-26)
A call to repentance
A time of refreshing
An opportunity to respond
IV. Application
The beggar is a commentary to the condition of our world (broken and sinful from birth). Unfortunately, the beggar is also a commentary to the condition of some Christians as well. We live unhealed lives, and only ask God for short-term, temporary solutions. What are you asking God for in prayer?
The Lord has entrusted us with 5 T’s – time, talent (gifting/skills), treasure (money/possessions), temple (our bodies), and truth (message of the gospel). How are we praising God through a transformed life with each of these T’s?
Healing ultimately leads to a heart of repentance. Perhaps we are not experiencing signs, miracles, and healings as much because our hearts are neither willing nor ready to repent. Have we made a mockery of the death of Jesus Christ (God’s redemptive work) by living a life of self-praise and unrepentance?
Pray for your hearts: healing for woundedness, forgiveness for sins, freedom from bondage, and release from the occult.
